Chapter 828: 833

Seeing Simon's return, Jennifer hands the two little guys over to the waiters, leaves the pool, walks over to the side reclining chair and sits down. Noticing the papers on the round table, she asks Simon, "are you going to support ITER?"

"Our family's money doesn't fall from the sky, but maybe the key is whether the interests of the Westeros can be guaranteed. I'm not going to do charity in this kind of thing," Simon said, and asked Janet next to him, "honey, what do you think?"

Janet coolly pasted a sticker on Simon who had just taken off her shirt and trousers and said, "actually, I think developing controllable fusion is a mistake."

The female assistant apparently looked at the information: "you mean, Tokamak?"

"It's the whole controlled fusion program," Janet said, raising her little hand to the sky outside the sunshade. "Actually, our planet has enjoyed controlled fusion energy for billions of years. I don't think there is anything more stable than the energy provided by the sun."

Simon and Jennifer look up at the sky together, and all of a sudden they are a little bit surprised.

According to Janet's idea, it is clear that mankind has been continuously acquiring inexhaustible "controllable nuclear fusion" energy, and still needs to invest in research and development. It is really a bit of a misunderstanding.

Perhaps the real thing to do is to consider how to maximize the use of solar energy.

Not to mention the huge biological cycle system of the earth in the sun, the application of solar energy has already appeared in modern society, and the most typical and most potential development is undoubtedly solar photovoltaic power generation system.

However, until now, even after many years in Simon's memory, photovoltaic power generation has not been able to get rid of a shackle: the solar energy converted by photovoltaic power generation system in its life cycle has not been able to exceed the total energy consumption in the production process of photovoltaic products.

Not only that, the production of photovoltaic products and the disposal of products after scrapping will be accompanied by very serious pollution.

So the so-called clean energy is very unreliable.

Many rich people install expensive solar power generation systems in their luxury houses to promote themselves as environmentalists. In fact, it's not environmental protection at all, just like taking part in an environmental protection rally in a private plane.

Only when the solar energy converted by a unit volume of photovoltaic product in its life cycle far exceeds the investment of the product itself in all aspects, can human beings really use sustainable solar energy.

This is a way of thinking.

Simon sat up and continued to chat with the two girls. He motioned girl a not far away to come over, wrote down the idea and collected some relevant information as soon as possible.

Photovoltaic products will start to explode after the new century.

This is also a good investment direction.

Simon has always believed that if an industry wants to develop rapidly, a sustainable business model is far more effective than talking about ideals and playing tricks.

Just then, Melbourne climbed out of the swimming pool under the care of the maid, and ran to Simon with a little yellow duck in her hand. Holding the little yellow duck in her hand, she said to Simon expectantly, "Dad, duck."

Simon took the duckling from his son and asked with a smile, "what's the matter, baby?"

"Dad, can I have a real duckling?"

Simon played with the duckling in his hand, nodded without hesitation and said, "of course," seeing the light in the little guy's eyes, Simon quickly said, "but if you really raise a duckling, you need to take care of it yourself, will Moore?"

Melbourne nodded without hesitation: "yes, I can feed the ducklings every day."

Simon shook his head: "more than that, ducklings are not as smart as we humans. They will pull Baba everywhere. If our house is dirty, since it's Moore's duck, you have to clean it up."

The little guy hesitated, looked at Simon, sat up and looked at his mother with a smile, then turned to another mother, and finally pointed to the Indian girl behind him cleverly: "Ali can clean Baba, she is a servant."

Simon shook his head again and said, "that's not good. Ali is mom and dad's servant, because her salary is paid by mom and Dad, not you. When you grow up and earn money, you can hire your servants to work for you. Now, you have to do everything yourself, so, baby, do you want to raise ducks? "

The little guy hesitated for a moment, but he probably felt the encouragement from his father and two mothers, and soon nodded: "well."

Simon hugged his son with a smile and gave him a kiss on the forehead: "good. I'm willing to take my own responsibility. It shows that Moore has been a man. Dad will send a duckling to Moore in the afternoon."

Hearing his father's praise, the little guy was very happy and said, "Dad, I want to keep the duckling in the swimming pool."

"Still can't, duckling is very dirty, if pull Baba in swimming pool, everybody can't take a bath. However, we can build a swimming pool for the duckling in other parts of the house

Melbourne thought about it, felt that what his father said was very reasonable, and nodded again.Zoe parks and Trish Goff come over with some coconuts while the father and son are talking. Janet, who is lying on Simon's back, takes a coconut and hands it to Simon to hold it. Her head is against the man's shoulder, grabs the straw and drinks a few mouthfuls. Seeing the little guy nodding, she puts the straw to Simon's mouth and says to her son with a bad smile: "Oh, baby, do you have any Never thought about it. What do ducks do when they grow up? "

As soon as Melbourne looked suspiciously, Simon had returned the straw to Janet's mouth.

It's not the right time for a three-year-old kid to get there in one step.

On the other side, Jennifer, aware of Janet's intention, stares at her angrily, gets up, grabs Melbourne and walks back to the pool.

When her son walked away, Janet put the straw back into Simon's mouth again, turned to Zoe and said, "I'm going to have roast duck at night."

Simon reached out and took a stroke on Janet's buttock. Ignoring the woman's pretending to be coquettish, he thought about it and said to Zoe, "look for two wild duck eggs. Remember they're wild ducks. They can fly. Get an incubator and deliver them in the afternoon."

Zoe agreed, looked carefully at Janet, and asked Simon, "do you want to have roast duck, boss?"

"No, not for two years." Simon said to humming Janet, "go out if you want to."

Janet, after a few words, is no longer tired of Simon's side. She gets up and walks to the deep water area of the swimming pool. With a slight jump, she plunges in like a mermaid.

Simon didn't go to join in the fun. He leaned back on the couch. Zoe and qusi were holding the other two coconuts and pointed to the round table beside them: "just put them here. You can play, too."

The two women obediently put down the coconut and went to the swimming pool together.

Simon is drinking coconut milk while thinking about the meeting with Semel not long ago and the topic he has just discussed. Occasionally, he gives a few words to girl a standing by.

In the afternoon, there were two more carefully selected wild duck eggs at home.

Simon hopes to teach his son something about love, responsibility, persistence and independence through the birth, growth and final departure of his two little lives.

Simon has always felt that no matter how much knowledge he instills into his children, it is better to cultivate a good character.

Character decides fate.

After the weekend, Simon did not leave Los Angeles in the new week. Even if there were many things Simon needed to pay attention to on the east coast or in San Francisco, he also cancelled the trip.

I plan to stay at home for the next month.

Mainly, Sophia's due date is August, when Simon will go to Europe to accompany her for a period of time.

Terry Semel revealed to Simon that Jack Welch, the head of General Electric, had a dinner with Gerald Levin, the chairman of Time Warner Group. After that, Simon didn't hear the relevant rumors or deliberately inquire about them in the next few days.

If Ge can really acquire Time Warner, although danielis will have a strong opponent, but overall, it is still a good thing.

If the top two are side by side, the potential pressure on danielis entertainment will be much less.

Moreover, judging from the information in my memory, even if the merger can be completed, Simon doesn't think Ge can manage such a huge media asset.

Jack Welch may not have a big problem when he was in office. There is no doubt about the legendary professional manager's ability.

But in my memory, Jack Welch will retire in 2000.

In 2000, it also became the turning point of GE's prosperity and decline.

On the other hand, inspired by Janet on Saturday, after carefully studying the data collected by girl a, Simon soon included the photovoltaic industry in the focus area of westero system. Although photovoltaic products are unlikely to break through some shackles for a long time in the future, the gimmick of clean energy is still easy to accept.

At the same time, Simon also began to research and develop rechargeable batteries, mainly lithium batteries.

In fact, Ting cobal is already doing this.

At present, tincobail's main products still use traditional disposable batteries as energy, which is not in line with Simon's environmental protection concept.

Although he never publicizes it to the outside world, Simon is really an environmentalist at heart.

When he was very young, Simon began to deliberately avoid using these products when he realized the serious pollution of disposable nickel cadmium batteries.

At the present stage, there are many solutions for rechargeable batteries. Simon has directly selected lithium batteries, which can avoid many detours. He hopes that in the next two to three years, tincobail will at least be able to release rechargeable lithium batteries suitable for its own products, which can be regarded as a kind of peripheral, gimmick and environmental protection.

Of course, tincobail certainly does not have its own production capacity, or OEM.

Westero, tincobail and igritte have invested in some lithium battery companies before. Inspired by the photovoltaic industry, Simon plans to further increase his investment and even consider acquiring IBM's battery R & D and production department, mainly for technology and patents.As an old electronics giant, IBM and other enterprises, like Panasonic, Toshiba and others in Japan, all have a complete industry chain that can be self-sufficient. With an IBM computer, IBM at this stage can produce most of its own components, even the CPU.

However, Japanese enterprises have preserved their perfect industrial chain for many years, while European and American companies have been divesting and selling them for various reasons, and many of them have even been cut off. It does cut costs and improve efficiency, but it also misses a lot of opportunities. Simon does not intend to change the future pattern of world manufacturing industry. What he wants to do is to seize some of the most profitable industries according to his own advantages.

On the other hand, the momentum of summer stalls in North America began to slow down after the Independence Day holiday.

In the second week of the Independence Day holiday on July 7, two new films were mainly shown in North American theaters. One is NC-17 new film "dancing girl" released by Carol paramount, which is the restrictive film nearly starred by Charlize Theron last year, and the other is "three steps to kill" by Denise's new world film industry It's worth noting that this is a "trilogy", not a trilogy.

Because of the popularity of "Assassin's Elegy" a few years ago, new world film has provided 2027 opening screens for "three steps to kill". This B-class film with a production budget of 7 million US dollars has successfully won the box office of 11.03 million US dollars seven days after its first week, and the total box office in China is expected to be between 25 million and 30 million US dollars.

Of course, it can't be compared with the two major films of danielis summer program, but it's also a good success.

The other one, the dancing girl, is going to be a lot more miserable.

This NC-17 movie about Las Vegas's erotic dance industry costs 45 million US dollars. After its release, because of its large scale, even if it is difficult to resist a large number of wolf friends to buy tickets, the box office in the first seven days of the week will only reach 9.07 million US dollars. It is estimated that there is little hope that the total domestic box office will exceed 20 million US dollars.

Relying on overseas tax evasion capital to burn money, karok film, which is very distressed, after the box office fiasco of "dancing girl", has only one super blockbuster "cut throat island" in hand, which is cooperated with paramount. Simon personally launched the project at the beginning, and has been quietly paying attention to it since the project was approved. The film is basically sure to be released at the end of the year, once it fails as in the original time and space The money burning player, karock, will quit Hollywood completely.

Then, on July 14, another box office week, it was still two new films.

MGM's campus comedy "leading the show" and directed by Amy hacklin, director of "flying childlike innocence" tell the story of a fashionable rich girl from Beverly noble school transforming her new local schoolmate. The film seems not well-known, but in fact, in Simon's memory, "leading the show" has a bright impact on many young campus comedies, such as "cheap girl", which later became popular There was no significant effect.

Simon cut off the sequel of "beyond innocence" at the beginning, and several other projects directed by Amy heckling have not been successful in recent years, so the budget of the new film is only 12 million dollars.

This is also in line with Simon's positioning of MGM.

In addition to several blockbusters approved by Simon himself, MGM still focuses on making low-cost films.

This summer, MGM's three movies, the king of fights, and the Internet thriller, all have a budget of less than $30 million.

Because the volume is too small, in order to avoid being crushed by the heavy bomb in the early stage of the summer season, MGM's three new films are put on the back end of the summer season. July 14's "leading the show" is the first one. Next, the game adaptation of "king of fighting" is scheduled. On July 28, it is the same period with Warner's "future world", and Sandra Bullock's hacker themed film "cyber thriller" 》August 11.

In addition to "leading the show", another new film is the action film "runaway Qianlong 2" starring Steven Sieger produced by Warner Bros. after the success of the first film at the box office, the cost of the sequel increased to $60 million, the standard blockbuster level.
